Excerpt
Excerpt: On November 14, 2001 in Doha, Qatar, the Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreed on a new work program that includes comprehensive multilateral trade negotiations, which will take place over the next three years. Future WTO work will cover a variety of areas affecting international business and commerce, including industrial tariff and non-tariff barriers, agriculture, services and trade rules. The members will take up additional areas of negotiation, such as investment rules and competition, after the Fifth Ministerial meeting, which will take place during the second half of 2003. At the end of the negotiations, American exporters of industrial and agricultural goods and services should find that they have improved access to overseas markets. This article will cover some, but not all, of the major aspects of the future WTO work plan agreed to at Doha.
